lyrics

We've all heard Wonderwall a thousand times,
It means a lot to a lot of people I suppose but,
Heaven knows I'm getting tired,
Of Madchester animals around the camp fire.

Give me something dissonant that really matters,
I'm so sick of listening to the Gallaghers.

Play me something I haven't heard before,
Play me something I haven't heard before,
Play me something I haven't heard before,
What else is your stereo for?

"Hit me baby one more time" the Travis version,
Was a kind of interesting joke at first then,
Every idiot with an acoustic guitar,
Started singing "Still believe" in a high register.

Give me something dissonant that really matters,
I'm so sick of irony and knowing laughter.

"Zombie zombie",
"Rock me baby like a wagon wheel",
Every open mic I've ever seen,
Billions in unpaid royalties.

Give me something dissonant that really matters,
I'm so sick of all of these cheesy characters.
